ABSTRACT: I argue that anunHumeanontology of irreducibly dispositional properties might be fruitfully combined with what has typically been thought of as aHumeanaccount of laws, namely, thebest-system account, made popular by David Lewis (e.g., 1983, 1986, 1994). In this paper I provide the details of what I argue is the most defensible account of Humean laws in an unHumean world. This package of views has the benefits of upholding scientific realism while doing without any suspect metaphysical entities to account for natural law. I conclude by arguing that the Humean laws-unHumean ontology package is well placed to provide an account of objective, nontrivialchances, a famous stumbling block for the Humean laws-Humean ontology package developed by Lewis.
